Track 6: The maou's real power

FX:*a bird flies across *

Günter: Your majesty, I was thinking over today's duel and I wasn't able to come up with a good idea...

Yuuri: I thought about it for a while, too.

Günter: Your majesty, what do you plan on doing? Wolfram is more slender than his older brothers, but he is good with a sword. He inherited fire magic from his mother's side of the family, and he's this country's most prominent fire magic user. If you challenge him carelessly...

Yuuri: As for me, I don't plan on using swords or magic, because I can't win with them. It's all about tactics, tactics.

Cherie: Your majesty! We've been waiting for you.

Wolfram: I've been imagining you begging for forgiveness while I pound you into the ground. I entertained myself thinking of that while I was waiting.

Yuuri: You think you can just decide that I'd lose? Maybe my grappling skills will finally wake up after fifteen years.

FX:*Yuuri undresses*

Wolfram: Why are you taking off your clothes!?

Yuuri: What are you talking about? You have to strip, too.

Wolfram: Me!?

Yuuri: That's right. Because the uniform sumo wrestlers wear is their bare skin.

Wolfram: Su.. mou?

Yuuri: Sumo wrestling is a super heavy-weight sport, where man versus man in loin clothes, each trying to knock their opponent down. If they take a step outside of the arena, or anything other than the bottom of their feet touch the ground then they lose.

Günter: Lo..in cloth..es? Are..na?

Conrad: Ah, Japanese sumo wrestling?

Yuuri: Come on, hurry and strip.

Wolfram: Man versus man, trying to knock each other down almost na, na, naked!?

Yuuri: Right. With bouncing bodies and sweat scattering.

Wolfram: Stop screwing around! You expect to challenge me to such a savage and lewd match!?

YuurI: Lewd!? Don't say something so rude! It's Japan's national sport! It's much better than killing someone.

Cherie: I love this game~!

FX:*blows kiss*

Yuuri: Ah... I guess it can't be helped, then, you can keep your clothes on. Hurry and get in the circle.

Yuuri: Uryah!

Wolfram: Uwah~!

FX:*Yuuri wins the match*

Cherie: ...Huh? What happened? Is it over?

Gwendal: Wolfram was taken down.

Yuuri: Yeah! Did I win!? So I won!? I won! I won!!!

Günter: Your majesty! It was a splendid battle.

Yuuri: I told you I had a winning strategy! You just have to use your head, and think smart!

Günter: This duel that was born out of your majesty's profound benevolence, without a drop of blood shed on either side, will be a moving tale for ages to come among the mazoku.

Yuuri: People will talk about it more because it's a funny story than a moving tale.

Conrad: Ah... I hope this settles everything.

Wolfram: What kind of idiotic match was that!?

Conrad: Wolfram...

Wolfram: How can victory be decided with a game from another world!? You plan on becoming this country's king!? Then win using this country's methods! If you're the maou, you should have a mazoku duel!

Yuuri: Wait a minute! That's not fair. You said before that I could use whatever method I liked.

Wolfram: Shut up! Someone, bring my sword!

Yuuri: W-wait, seriously, wait. If we use real swords won't we die!? Don't start taking this seriously after you lost!

Wolfram: Then you weren't serious in that crappy match we just had?

Yuuri: Don't call it crappy!

Günter: Wolfram, isn't this a condition of your own suggestion? I can't ignore such selfish demands.

Wolfram: Then what are you going to do? Are you going to fight in his stead? Is the man who calls himself the new maou going to use his subordinate to fight a one-on-one match?

Yuuri: Say, Conrad, if I become the maou, ah, by some chance, I mean. By chance. If that happens, will that guy be my ally?

Conrad: Of course.

Yuuri: And what kind of person is he? Would he betray me because he hated or resented me?

Conrad: No.

Yuuri: Then, for larger causes, he's the type who would even cooperate with someone he hated?

Conrad: Yeah, Wolfram has pride as a mazoku. And he wants to keep mazoku at the top of this world. So even if it was someone he hated, if he believed in the cause, he would probably follow them.

Yuuri: I see. I get it. Give me a practice sword. If I have to do this to make him feel better, then I have no choice but to solve this quickly.

Conrad: Your majesty, take this.

Yuuri: A pendant? Ah, it has a blue stone in it... It's Lions blue, right?

Conrad: My... friend gave it to me. I heard from the owner that it's a charm for protection, but since this is originally a maseki, it seems it doesn't work for people with no maryoku. Whether it's fortune or defense or offence, it should be useful for something.

Yuuri: You're giving it to me?

Conrad: Yeah.

Günter: *clears throat* Be careful when you accept things while being a king. The act of receiving a gift is to accept that person's loyalty, even if your majesty doesn't want it. I don't mind for myself and Conrart, but you shouldn't try to increase the number of your loyal servants without knowing it.

Yuuri: So you're saying not to accept things carelessly? What's with that? It sounds like elections.

Wolfram: Are you ready, person from another world?

Yuuri: My name is Shibuya Yuuri. If you want you can add 'sama' after it, I don't mind.

Wolfram: Don't screw with me!

Günter: Your majesty, avoid it, avoid it! It'll be dangerous if you receive a direct hit!

Conrad: Stop giving him so much advice, Günter. If he wasn't used to it his arm would have been broken in one hit. It may be instinct, but your majesty's judgement is correct. Besides, he's reading Wolfram's rhythm. The foundation of his attack is exemplary, but is always predictable.

FX:*swords clash*

Wolfram: You stopped... my attack...

Yuuri: ... If I was your coach, you wouldn't be a starting member because your timing is always the same!

Wolfram: What!?

Yuuri: Such a dull pitcher is...

FX:*Wolfram's sword flies away*

Yuuri: Shahuu~! I did it! ...Ahh.... I'm worn out already, so I can't do this any longer. If it's ok with you, maybe we could call it a draw for today... Uwah!

Wolfram: I'm not defeated!

Günter: Wolfram! His majesty hasn't been taught majutsu yet! Don't start using fire magic because you were defeated!

Wolfram: I'm not defeated!

Yuuri: T-that's why I said we could call it a draw, didn't I!?

Wolfram: It's not a draw, either. We're continuing until one of us can't fight.

Günter: Then I'll have to stop it...

Gwendal: Don't interfere.

Günter: Gwendal! Why are you intruding!? If we don't stop Wolf, his majesty will..."

Gwendal: You're the one who is intruding. This is a chance to see if we made an error. If he's truly the maou, he shouldn't be able to be defeated by someone like Wolfram.

Günter: But his majesty hasn't made a pledge with an element yet...

Gwendal: Maryoku is a quality of one's soul. It's not something that can be obtained by learning or wanting it. If that is the true maou, even if he hasn't undertaken the oath or teachings, shouldn't all the elements want to follow him? They would kneel before such a noble soul.

Wolfram: All particles made of fire, obey the mazoku who defeated the soushu...

Yuuri: What!? A fireball!? A magic ball!?

Wolfram: Read my will ... and obey!

FX:*shoots fireball*

Yuuri: Uwah.. oh, oh... ah. ggh!

Conrad: Gwen, undo the barrier. If you don't, I'll stop Wolfram even if it means cutting you down.

Gwendal: Cutting me... down? I wonder how true that is, Conrart.

Conrad: It's entirely true.

Wolfram: You won't be so lucky as to escape this time!!!

FX:*fire wolf*

Yuuri: What is that? A fire wolf!? Ah, it's hot! This is bad! Ah... Hey, a girl!

Maid: Eh? Kyaa!

Yuuri: Watch out!

Conrad: Hurry up and call soldier's medic!

Yuuri: ... This is... This is your victory!? Involving a girl who had nothing to do with this, this is...

FX:*thunder and rain*

Ue-sama: You refused to accept defeat, running around wildly and ignoring the rules. And then an innocent girl was dragged into it, and still you greedily want victory.

Günter: Your majesty?

Yuuri: Is this what you call a real duel? If that's the case, I can't let people like you do whatever you want. It's not my intention to shed blood, but I have no choice. I will cut you down!

Wolfram: What!?

Yuuri: Judgement!

Cherie: Oh... what a beautiful snake! It's an amazing magic, your majesty!

Conrad: A water-snake? How can this be? He didn't even use the commands, however...

Günter: His majesty didn't even make an oath with the elements.... Ah! The snakes ... Wolfram!

Gwendal: The power is coming from him... he's constricting Wolfram with his power...

Ue-sama: I absolutely can't forgive you, who selfishly snatched away an innocent life...

Wolfram: Let me go! ... You... Ggh... why... all of a sudden... you bastard! Who the hell are you!?

Ue-sama: "Who am I?" you ask? Humph. Do you not recognize my other face?

Conrad: The girl has recovered consciousness, she's not in any danger.

Ue-sama: I see...

FX: *Wolfram is released from the water snakes*

Wolfram: Ah!... *pants*

Ue-sama: You, the one called Wolfram, you should undergo a great reformation after this! Even the lord has mercy.

Wolfram: M-mercy?

Yuuri: Ugh... uh...

Conrad: He fell down...

Günter: Your majesty!

Gwendal: I see, so this means his soul is authentic.
